H.M.S."HOOD"
Battle Cruiser
Begun under the Emergency War Programme
in 1916, H.M.S. Hood was built by John
Brown & Co., Clydebank, and cost about
Sterling 6,000,000. She was launched in 1918 and
completed in March 1920. The vessel has a
speed of 31 knots, a displacement of 42,100
tons and carries a complement of 1,341. Her
armament consists of eight 15-inch guns,
ten 5-5-inch guns, eight 4-inch anti-aircraft
guns, and subsidiary weapons, besides four
21-inch torpedo tubes. Aircraft are being
added in 1939. She is fitted with outside
bulges as protection against under-water
attack and has specially thickened side
armour and conning tower. The Hood,
although over 18 years old, is still reckoned
as a first-class fighting unit. She is the only
vessel of her class, three other ships originally
projected having been cancelled.
